Bill introduced to terminate the Department of Education, bringing funding back to the states 

While the Senate was busy debating and finally confirming Betsy Devos as the next Secretary of Education, Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) introduced a bill to abolish the entire Department of Education on December 31st, 2018. Rep. Massie joins Dana Loesch to discuss his bill, which has gone viral on the internet.

Rep. Massie explains how the Department of Education has roughly 4,500 bureaucrats making around $105,000 apiece a year, dictating to states what the students will learn and how they will learn it. He states by making this cut there will be more funding available to the states to be spent in the school system.
